The music on this works so well with the footage. Makes you well up

[@michaelhoy662]

Jordan Jackson at least you understand the video most people don’t life is always sad looking back it hurts

[@stevehadfield5963]

Music is one of the most powerful tools for creating an emotion, and although I have no liking for this music, it's does its job and suits the film well.

You are so right Jordan

it was a bit like that when I went there as a kid

[@elliottg.1954]

Looks a bit bleak but it obviously wasn't filmed in summer, the high tourism season for which the seaside and its amenities were designed and built by entrepreneurs hundreds of years ago. Moneyspinning Beach Culture, health and relaxation. There was no Soviet style regime and it was never a coastal East Berlin. Blackpool's economy has long been tourism and 'healthy sea bathing'. When the railway arrived in 1846, millions of people - the rich and the poor - visited Blackpool every year which is why there are so many houses or coastal homes. Much of Blackpool's massive housing stock served and still serves as lodgings and boarding houses. While there have been many changes to seaside towns since their beginnings, British cultural traditions haven't changed. And neither has the Victorian social inequality.

Oh my. Resort?? This film makes it look like one of the most dreary places on earth. Soviet Block party designated holidays.

[@samnicholson5051]

Their mistake was filming it during the winter

[@stevehadfield5963]

Must ask them to change the view from the tower on my next visit, can't have you looking at a real town can we? Too depressing obviously!!

[@delboytrotter8806]

Quelle dumpo. 2018

[@flurblewibble7735]

Possibly the worst, most miserable historical footage of Blackpool I have ever had the misfortune to watch.

[@stevehadfield5963]

What did you expect from the top of the tower? A view of the valley of the king's in a golden sunset?

[@elliottg.1954]

@@stevehadfield5963 A herd of wild Buffalo?
